Yes, but there are certain limitations and only one of each is allowed per room. Microwaves up to .9 cubic feet.　 Refrigerators with a maximum capacity of 4.5 cubic feet, 115 volt 60 cycle AC, 230 watts, 2 amp (when running).

It is not necessary for you to bring items such as a phone, radio, hair dryer, electric shaver, VCR, or microwave since these are available to you. Space is also limited in your room, so it is best to leave these articles at home. Contact the TB Nurse Case Manager, your patient care nurse or your social worker if you have any question about what personal items to bring to or leave at TCID.

A bar fridge is acceptable in your room, an extra charge may be required for the cost of electricity. A microwave is not allowed due to Health and Safety regulations. A small fish tank is acceptable but other pets are not.

Every room has one small refrigerator. You may not bring an extra refrigerator or a freezer. If you have a medical condition or religious requirement for additional refrigeration, Residence Life will provide one based on documentation you submit to Residence Life. A microwave is allowed in your room. Be sure to print off our “Things to Bring Checklist” [PDF]for more details on what you can, and cannot bring to campus. [TOP]

Refrigerators under 4.5 cu. ft. are allowed, but not microwaves. Microfridges and refrigerators can be rented from Housing Services.

Micro, means small or electro magnetic waves, and are a form of radiant energy. Microwaves are colorless, odorless and tasteless and cannot be seen by naked eye. Microwaves travel at the speed of light and have a frequency of 2450 MHz (for those used in microwave ovens). Microwaves vibrate with a frequency of 2450 MHz, i.e. 2450 million times per second. Microwaves have a special affinity towards water, sugar and fat.

Per the Room and Board Agreement, "Refrigerators that stand less than 35" in height and draw no more than 1.5 amps of power are allowed. Microwaves up to 800 watts of power output are acceptable." So basically, any small refrigerator unit you'd find in a large retailer such as Walmart, K-Mart or Target would be acceptable. Ditto for smaller sized microwaves.

When using a microwave to thaw RMBs, you must be extremely careful, as the microwave can begin to cook the food from the inside (the bones) out. Thawing RMBs in the microwave is NOT the recommended method. NEVER, EVER give your dog a cooked bone, as it can splinter and cause severe internal complications. The safest method of thawing is room temperature or, if you're in a bit of a hurry, soak the RMBs in cold water in the kitchen sink. Back to top of page

No. All baby foods may be served warm, at room temperature or cold. However, we recommend that you warm Microwave Meals before serving to achieve the best possible taste and texture.

Microwave ovens are a technological breakthrough and a great convenience. However, microwave ovens are also a source of radiation that contaminates our food and our home. Despite reassurances from the FDA and oven manufacturers, microwave radiation is a potential cause of serious illness, including cancer. Homeowners can buy radiation-detecting devices, but these devices are notoriously unreliable. So I prefer to err on the side of safety and avoid microwave ovens.

Microwaves are not permitted in the residences. The Residence Life office in conjunction with the Student Government Association has a program that offers the Microfridge, a combination refrigerator and microwave. If you are interested in renting a Microfridge, you may contact The Refrigerator Company at http://www.therefrigeratorcompany.com/.

The factsheet "Food safety and power failures" explains what to do in this situation. See Keeping food safe.

Yes. However, fridges are one of the largest consumers of energy in a typical home so choosing a high efficiency model is critical if costs are to be minimised.

The fridge is a large fridge freezer with plenty of space. There are large eskies aboard all boats for ice & drinks or frozen food.

Thank you for asking the million-dollar question. Burning Man is an exercise in radical self-sufficiency. You have to bring all you need to survive, and then some. Some people bring only the basics; others bring everything including the kitchen sink. Water, food and shelter are imperative — you will be asked to turn around at the gate if gate personnel believe you cannot meet your basic survival needs. Carefully read the Survival Guide, and prepare accordingly.

Yes, if possible please bring any films and reports for x-rays, MRI's, or bone scans completed, which are relevant to the body part being evaluated, if performed within the past year. Also, it is a good idea to bring a pair of shorts to allow for a more thorough exam.
